Chapter 148 The Art of the Trash Can
Chapter 148 The Art of the Trash Can
Thinking of this, Ji Zi looked at the two little ones hugging each other tightly, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and said with a smile: "Okay, you two little guys, don't be so bored here. We still have important things to deal with."
When the girl heard Ji Zi's words, her cheeks turned slightly red and she raised her head from her boyfriend's arms a little embarrassedly.
"Okay, Sister Jizi." The girl responded softly, with a hint of shyness in her voice, as if she was a wounded deer, very lovable.
Seeing the shy and cute look of the girl, Ji Zi said with a little reproach: "You, are you shy now? Where is your boldness just now? You said such words in front of so many people..."
The girl broke free from her boyfriend's arms, hugged the snow-white arms of the woman in the red dress, and began to act coquettishly.
"Hey~ Sister Jizi, please stop teasing me and tease the bad guys instead~"
The woman in the red dress glanced at Jiang Chen and shook her head. "Tease the little guy?... Forget it."
"He's so shameless, I guess only you, little Sanyue, can make him blush."
Jiang Chen had a puzzled look on his face, "So? Is my facial paralysis also my fault?"
"Hehehe, it's all your fault. It's because you, the bad guy, have such a handsome expressionless face~" The girl stuck out her tongue cutely and said with a smile.
"..."
Seeing the gray-haired boy blushing as the girl hit him in the heart, Jizi's mouth curled up nicely, but then she started to urge him.
“Alright, alright, you two, I just told you not to show off your affection, and you started it again.
"Hurry up and collect all the ingredients for the cocktails as Mr. Gallagher said."
"Let's finish our business first, and then you can play however you want."
Seeing that the gentle sister Ji Zi's face turned serious, the two little ones looked at each other guiltily and agreed at the same time.
"Okay, Sister Himeko."
"Okay, Aunt Jizi."
So, Jiang Chen and the other two began to hang out near the bar, looking for the so-called materials.
After walking around for a long time, he finally stopped in front of a shabby coffee table with Sulada on it.
"Look, look, it's Suleda~ Didn't the sister just say that the store doesn't sell Suleda?"
The girl blinked her big eyes and said excitedly as if she had discovered a new world.
With such doubts, the girl slowly reached out and picked up one of the bottles of Suleda. "Hey~ I shake it! Well, it's still full of gas and the shelf life is safe!"
"Are you a child, Miss March?" Jiang Chen said helplessly as he looked at the girl's childish behavior. "You really look like a 'smart' child right now."
Not realizing the hidden meaning in her boyfriend's words, the girl cutely stuck out her tongue and said cunningly with a smile: "Hey, I can't help it. When I see this carbonated drink, I can't help but want to shake it. "
Jiang Chen stared at his girlfriend's cute face for a long time and sighed slowly. "March, only children... would be swayed by such silly desires."
"Oh? Is that so~" Seeing him talking nonsense seriously, a hint of cunning flashed in the girl's beautiful eyes.
"Then Mr. Pioneer, I want to ask you - some people can't help but rummage through trash cans when they see them, and won't listen to anything you say. Is it because... they can't control their own boring desires?"
"Uh……"
"Haha~ I have nothing to say, Mr. Pioneer who likes to rummage through trash cans~"
"…I didn't expect that you would find my secret location. You are indeed the famous detective Miss Mitsuki."
"Haha~ Flattery is useless! In fact, I have long wanted to ask you why you have such a perverted... uh... strange hobby?"
Seeing his girlfriend describe his sacred act of rummaging through the trash can as a "weird hobby", Jiang Chen's expression immediately became serious.
"Hey, Miss March, you don't understand. There is a science to rummaging through trash cans."
"First of all, before you rummage through the trash can, you have to smell it first. Smell the area around the trash can to see if there is any strange smell. After all, if there is a strange smell, it means that it is very dirty, so there is no need to open it."
"The second thing is to weigh it and see if it's worth your while. If it feels light... then it's probably empty, so there's no need to open it."
"And when these two conditions are met, the next most...most important step will come. That is...lifting the lid of the trash can!"
"After all...only by opening the lid can you know what's inside."
"If you don't open it, you will never know whether it contains treasures or... junk."
"..."
"..."
His words made the two women present silent. Especially Sanyue, who was completely stunned.
With her mouth open, she said with a look of admiration: "No... you are worthy of it, you bastard! You are the only one who can describe rummaging through garbage so... so profoundly."
"It is His loss that the wise and knowledgeable One does not look upon you."
"Is... is that so? I didn't expect that you and I would have the same idea, Miss March.
Actually... I think so too. With my knowledge, I should have been made an intellectual envoy a long time ago."
"Uh, bad guy, you...should have heard that I was..."
"Of course I heard it. Miss March, you still like to praise me so much~"
"Uh, bad guy, you are really shameless~"
"..."
"Okay, okay, you two, hurry up and take the materials back." After knocking on the two little guys' heads, Ji Zi urged with a smile.
"Okay, Sister Himeko."
"Okay, Aunt Jizi."
So, under the guidance of the red-haired woman, the shameless Jiang Chen brought Sanyue and Su Leda back to the bar...
After handing the materials to Gallagher, he sat down at the bar.
Looking at the materials handed over by the group, Gallagher shook his head helplessly. "I didn't expect...you guys like this drink called Suleda."
"Hmm? Can't we use Suleda? Otherwise... I'll look for it again." Jiang Chen asked puzzledly.
Gallagher shook his head. "Don't bother. Since you chose this, use it."
After saying that, the mature uncle in the gray vest skillfully began to mix the drinks. He first poured various ingredients into the cocktail glass, then... stirred and shook...
Soon, three cups of drinks with cartoon signs on them and based on Suleda appeared in front of them.
Jiang Chen was stunned when he saw the cartoon character in a black suit. "Uh... is this Brother Hanu?"
Gallagher smiled and nodded. "Yes, this is the Hanunu brother you all know. At the same time... he is also the one who participated in the "Liberation War" with Mikhail back then - Hanunu."
"Hmm? Mikhail? Isn't that the name of the bad guy you saw in your dream..." The girl looked at her boyfriend curiously.
"March, the name Mikhail... doesn't just appear in my dreams~"
"Hmm? What do you mean by that, bad guy?"
Without directly answering his girlfriend's question, Jiang Chen slowly turned his gaze towards the man in the gray vest at the bar.
"Captain Gallagher, what is your relationship with Mikhail?"
Seeing that he seemed to know something, Gallagher smiled and spread his hands. "Haha, it seems that you know a lot. I was right about you. Now I have no reason not to be honest with you..."
"Then let's talk about the case and answer your questions."
"Let me first tell you my conclusion: According to the clues in the family's hands, Miss Liuying is neither a local nor an invited guest. In other words... she is indeed a genuine illegal immigrant."
He laughed at himself and said, "Come to think of it... I was also fooled by that girl. I am really too old now."
"But smuggling is not uncommon in Pinocchio..."
"And after the case happened, the hounds immediately took action. They tracked the suspect from both the dream and reality, but the result... was only bad news..."
